"In any case, he is the only player who attracts the most attention in this competition. The prince of kicking that all Japan is proud of... Kyogoku Makoto!" The announcement continued from the tablet, "Next, let us
Let’s watch a video of his introduction first…”
Suzuki Sonoko ran forward and took the tablet from Yamamura's hand, "Let me see!"
Seeing Suzuki Sonoko watching the broadcast with a silly look on her face, Mao Lilan asked curiously, "Sonoko, haven't you heard Kyogoku talk about this competition?"
Suzuki Sonoko smiled sheepishly, "Because he said that if I saw him trying to attract wealth, he might as well commit seppuku, so he never told me about the competition!"
Mao Lilan looked horrified, "Ha ha, seppuku?!"
Conan laughed inwardly, this could be considered the motivation for Kyogoku's 400-game winning streak...
"Police Officer Yamamura!" The police officer who went to investigate hurriedly came over, "About the identity of the victim..."
Yamamura Cao turned around and asked, "How's it going? Are you clear?"
"No, I called the production company of the show and asked. They said there are no advertisers called 'HOZU fans' because most of the staff have gone back, so I asked the part-time people," the middle-aged policeman said,
Handing a piece of printed paper to Yamamura Cao, "I asked them to pass over a copy of the cast list."
"Well..." Yamamura Cao stared at the list for a moment and said with a speechless face, "Is there really nothing wrong with this list? The dates on it are so messy..."
Conan subconsciously thought of Chi Feichi.
He remembered that some time ago, Chi Feichi made a lot of soup dumplings and sent them to the detective agency to make breakfast for them. He also helped Uncle Maoli organize the case report. It turned out that Uncle Maoli was also too big-hearted and just threw them all to Chi Feichi.
.
Until the day before yesterday, when the uncle needed to use the information, he found that the dates marked on it were all messed up. He was forced to stay up late to help reorganize...
Speaking of date confusion, the people on that crew are not the same as Chi Feichi, right?
Probably not... Wait, speaking of the date, the name HOZU is a fan...
After getting rid of Chi Feichi's question, Conan immediately figured it out. His expression changed. Just as he turned around and was about to run out, a hand quickly grabbed... the back collar.
Conan: “…”
Feeling suffocated!
There was the unruly Bentang Yingyou in the past, and Chi Feichi who hanged his neck whenever he disagreed with others. Has he generally had bad luck recently?
Chi Feichi let go of Conan's collar, looked at Suzuki Sonoko, Mao Lilan, and Hondo Yingyu who were gathered together to watch the live intelligence game. He looked sideways at the door, turned around and walked quietly towards the door.
Conan understood and followed quietly out.
He almost forgot that there are many dangerous people on the mountain now, and they may not have left yet.
If he hurried to the mountains, Xiaolan and the others would definitely be worried, and they might even follow him.
It would be different if they secretly went to the mountain. When they found out that they were not there, Xiaolan and the others would think of the scary saying about "the dead souls lying on their backs" before going out, and they would most likely not go to the dark mountain where people had just died.
Ran.
Well, this time he almost destroyed the "intimidation" effect of his friend before. It was his fault, so he didn't complain about being "hanged".
They just slipped away quietly... quietly...!
In the room, Hondo Yingyu was watching the live broadcast of the game with Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Lilan. He was curious about Kyogoku. When he saw the mention of "Kyogoku didn't show up" in the live broadcast, he wanted to ask the senior Chi Feichi if he knew.
Knowing what was going on, he looked up and found that Chi Feichi, who was standing near the door, was gone, and so was Conan.
Those two people must have gone to investigate the case.
Brother Fei Chi had been standing there quietly before, seeming to be relaxing, and seemed to be listening to the Yamamura Police Officer's questions. He gradually stopped paying attention. Conan, the little devil, was small and ran here and there. He got used to it.
There is actually a lack of attention...so careless!
He also wanted to find out what was going on with Conan, whether Brother Fei Chi was an ally, whether the so-called sleeping Mouri Kogoro was caused by Conan, or whether Brother Fei Chi conspired with Conan, what were the two people's intentions, and what was the relationship between these two people?
How much does Mizuna Reina know... Anyway, there are a lot of problems.
But it’s so dark outside, do you really want to go out?
Hondo Yingyou looked at the dark sky outside, gritted his teeth, and walked out bravely.
“Huh?” Mao Lilan looked up, “Yingyou, where are you going?”
“I’m going out to get some fresh air.” Yingyou turned around and smiled, looked away, and continued walking out with a firm gaze.
Haven’t he just heard some scary legends? He is not a coward!
…
There was no starlight or moonlight on the way up the mountain, and it was so dark that it was hard to see your fingers when you stretched out your hand.
The mountains in autumn seem too quiet without the noisy chirping of insects and frogs.
Occasionally, on the roadside, a weaver girl who has passed her active stage is disturbed by people going up the mountain. She makes a feeble "creak" sound, and soon the sound is gone.
In the distance, the branches and leaves also rustled for a while, and then stopped for a while. It seemed that something was hidden deep in the dark jungle, quietly peeping at the people going up the mountain, slowly approaching, and then slowly moving away.
Hondo Yingyu stared at a beam of light moving not far away, and followed behind it, walking lightly, trying not to let the sound of falling leaves being stepped on pass through.
Beside the trampled fallen leaves, two black figures, one large and one small, stood quietly behind the tree, staring at the hall Yingyou sneaking past.
Hondo Yingyu looked around and continued to stare at the moving beam of light in front of him. It was the Conan kid's watch flashlight. In this dark night, as long as he kept a close eye on it, he would not lose sight of the two people.
It's just that the wind in the mountain was wandering in the woods, and the back of his neck felt a little cold. Unconsciously, he thought of "the dead soul lying on his back", "blowing into the neck" and so on...
Suddenly, the main hall Yingyou heard a very soft sigh not far behind him, which was like a light exhalation, and his body froze.
Can’t look back!
“Why are you following me?”
The tone of the male voice behind him was too calm and familiar, but he remembered that according to legend, mountain goblins can imitate human voices and cannot look back!
After Chi Feichi finished speaking, he walked around to the front and looked at the motionless Bentang Yingyou, suspecting that the child was frightened.
In the darkness, Hondo Yingyou couldn't see clearly the face of the black figure in front of him. He kept one foot forward and turned into a stone sculpture. He stared at the black figure staring at him without blinking. Cold sweat gradually broke out.
Why is the other person not moving? Is he looking at him? Is he pretending to be a fool, or is he turning around and running away?
Conan was also worried that his friend Yingyou was frightened, so he stepped forward and asked, "Brother Yingyou, are you... okay?"
He and Chi Feichi didn't mean to scare people, but they just noticed that someone was following them, so they asked Feichi to go first with his watch-shaped flashlight. He and Chi Feichi stayed behind, hiding behind a tree to watch.
There are more than one or two suspicious people in that group. If they alert each other, they might get into trouble. For example, if someone runs away, they are suddenly attacked, or they are suddenly surrounded...
Hondo Yingyou continued to maintain his petrified posture, and suddenly found that the light beam moving in front turned towards them, and he was very happy.
The beam of light got closer, and it was only then that Yingyou could see clearly that it was not the Conan he had imagined being carried by Chi Feichi at all, but a snake.
The gray-black snake wrapped its tail around a branch and held it high behind its back. A lighted watch was tied to the top of the branch. As the snake crawled in an S-shape, the light beam of the watch swayed slightly left and right on the ground in front of it, making it look like a flashlight.
It was held by a child walking in the jungle with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
“No, not red?” Bentang Yingyou was stunned for a moment and looked up at the two black figures standing in front of him.
Since Fei Chi approached with a light source, the two people were illuminated behind him, and he could tell that the clothes were familiar to him. However, the face behind the backlight was expressionless. Although it looked like he was speechless, it was still weird in the middle of the night.
“It’s not Brother Chi, but also…Conan?”
"You don't need to be so surprised, right?" Conan said speechlessly, "We are the ones who should be surprised. Why did you follow me secretly?"
This hall Yingyou breathed a long sigh of relief, sat down on the fallen leaves, and softened his pale face, "I'm very strange, why did you sneak out? If you find any clues, don't forget me,
I can help too!"
Conan looked at Yingyou for two seconds, then looked up at Chi Feichi and smiled innocently, with a cute childish voice, "Brother Yingyou, it's already pretty good without causing any trouble, right?"
“Ah?!” Bentang Yingyou’s face crossed.
Chi Feichi bent down and stretched out his hand towards Yingyou, the host, "Since we are here, let's go together. Let's go faster."
Conan didn't refuse either. The mountain was very dangerous. Since Yingyou was here, they couldn't leave Yingyou alone.
“Faster?” Bentang Yingyou was confused, but he still took Chi Feichi’s hand and stood up before asking, “Did you really find important clues?”
"Yeah, Brother Chi said he knew what was going on with the dirt under the nails of Mr. HOZU fan, and he planned to go and have a look. He happened to find someone sneakily following him behind, so he bothered Fei Chi to use this method to attract attention.
"Li, let's hide behind the tree and see who it is," Conan took the branch from Fei Chi, took off his watch and put it on, bent down and smiled at Fei Chi, "Thank you for your hard work just now, Fei Chi~!"
"So that's it." Seeing Chi Feichi walking forward, our hall Yingyou started to follow him and quietly tried, "But brother Feichi, why do you think of bringing Conan with you? What do you think of taking a child up the mountain in the middle of the night?
It’s all a little strange…”
“Conan is very smart,” Chi Fei said without hesitation, “smarter than you think.”
"Really?" Hondo Yingyu lowered his head and looked at Conan who was following him. The side of his glasses reflected in the light, making his eyes look mysterious and unpredictable.
Conan was secretly wary, what does this unruly man want to do?!
"In ten years, he will definitely be a better detective than Mr. Maori, and he is very courageous. He is never afraid of corpses or the dark, so it doesn't matter if he comes to the mountain in the middle of the night." Chi Feichi slowed down and turned to the head of the hall, Yingyou.
He whispered, "This child... is sick."
Hondo Yingyou was confused, "Ah, eh?"
Conan listened intently from the side, but Chi Feichi’s voice was too soft, so he could only vaguely hear the word ‘child’, and he felt nervous unconsciously.
What are these two people talking about? Why is this hall Yingyou so surprised? Could it be that Chi Feichi had discovered his abnormality a long time ago, but just didn't tell it, and now he told this hall Yingyou?
Nervous and curious, causing the heartbeat to speed up.
“I used to have multiple personalities, and so did he.” Chi Feichi whispered, looking at Conan who looked tense.
This was used by the famous detective to deceive him, so he pretended to believe it and secretly revealed to others the bad behavior of the famous detective who deceived him.
